ORIGIN

This 1964 Buick Electra was purchased new from Bergen Auto Company in New Jersey and remained with the original owner until her passing in 2002. It was purchased out of her estate by the second owner and sat for an extended period before being acquired by the seller earlier this year. A general tune-up was subsequently performed and included a carburetor rebuild, new hoses, belts, a new alternator, and assorted cosmetic work. The seller also had a RideTech air suspension installed. Finished in Silver Cloud with a black roof, the car is powered by a 401ci Nailhead V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission. The sale includes the original purchase order, receipts from the seller’s ownership, and a transferable Rhode Island registration.

This example is finished in Silver Cloud with a black roof, and the finish is believed original to the car with no known accidents or body repairs. The lowered stance is courtesy of a RideTech air suspension paired with a Air Lift AutoPilot V2 digital air management controller.

The rear bumper was re-chromed by the seller, a new windshield washer pump was installed, and the window channels were greased along with having new power window motors fitted where needed. All windows are now functional.

The seats and door panels are finished in patterned material, and the 6-way power seat motor was repaired during the seller’s ownership and works properly. Period rubber floor mats can be seen in both footwells, and new speakers have been installed in the dash and rear deck.

All interior electrics reportedly work as intended with the odometer currently showing a believed accurate 60,400 miles.

Power comes from a 401ci Nailhead V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission. The car sat for an extended period before it was acquired by the seller, and multiple items were refreshed or replaced earlier this year. Work included a new water pump, new fuel pump, timing cover gasket, oil pan gasket, new radiator hoses, a coolant flush, new belts, a new power steering reservoir, a new alternator, an updated Pertronix 2 ignition and Flamethrower 2 coil, Optimum Redtop battery, a rebuilt carb, and new engine/transmission mounts.

The brakes were converted to a dual master cylinder set up with a rebuilt booster, and new shoes, rubber lines, and wheel cylinders were also fitted. Multiple undercarriage photos have been provided showing the air-ride suspension and chassis.

The original purchase order is included in the sale and can be seen in the gallery, showing an original purchase price of $4,653.50. A video showing the function of the air suspension has been provided by the seller and can be seen below.
